Over 50? Many health issues can sneak up on you! 6 in 10 adults have at least one chronic disease and 4 in 10 have two or more. The good news is that many of the conditions can be avoided in the first place or better managed with simple diet and exercise changes. If these conditions are caught early and treated promptly, you can prevent complications that are more serious in the future.
